"The [US] GDP report yesterday was pretty good. Inventories shaved 1.44ppt off overall growth leaving inventories levels at the end of Q3 at their lowest since Q1 2014. Stripping out the inventory impact, real final sales expanded by 3.0% after a 3.9% gain in Q2." 
- Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi (based on WBP Online) 


Pair's Outlook 
On Thursday the USD/CAD currency pair failed to preserve the bullish trend, ultimately falling towards the support in face of the 55-day SMA. The given SMA tried to hold the Greenback below 1.3175 today, with downside volatility edging closer to the weekly PP at 1.3087. However, technical studies are giving bullish signals, suggesting the Buck is to recover and somewhat revive the up-trend. A rally towards the cluster around 1.3265 is possible if the USD receives enough impetus to move beyond the 55-day SMA and 1.32. 

Traders' Sentiment 
Through all of the week exactly 47% of traders were long the Buck, including today. However, there are now slightly less commands to buy the US Dollar, namely 52% (previously 56%).
